[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I grew up, three generations lived under one roof. But I recognize that American majority don’t love and care for their elders. I cannot believe how many are just so nonchalant about putting your parents in a facility. [/quote] You and other posters talk about these situations fondly from the perspective of a bystander, as opposed to the primary caregiver. I hope with maturity you can shift your perspective, and realize that even if the primary caregiver speak of the situation fondly, it’s likely they are doing so out of obligation. [/quote] Yes, these posts usually reek of someone who has never btdt and looks back on their grandma/mom (because it's always women's work) as a lovely sweet servant to all. Someone here recommended a Willa Cather short story called Old Mrs. Harris on the topic. I read it and it absolutely hit home. Highly recommend it to everyone on this forum.[/quote]
